We had a terrific group out on Saturday with tempertaturs in the upper 70's! Where is winter hiding. :)

It was good to see Ken Bond again and playing even though he had chemo this week. He played with the winning team which included K.V. Douglas, Bart Douglas, Don McGriff and Tim Granberry. Now how did THAT group get together. LOL
